Aroldis Chapman Earns Save Sunday Afternoon
5 months agoPittsburgh Pirates closer Aroldis Chapman earned his third save of the season in a 4-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Chapman surrendered a run on two hits in his one inning of work. He is closing games in lieu of David Bednar, who is on the IL with an oblique injury and an uncertain return. Chapman has no wins, a 3.90 ERA, a 1.60 WHIP, and 49 strikeouts in 30 innings. Look for the veteran lefty to continue to get save opportunities for the length of Bednar's absence, based on his experience and the lack of other options for the Pirates.
